BUCKLE

Unique ID: HAMP-964E02

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A corroded and incomplete cast copper-alloy double-looped buckle frame of late medieval to early post-medieval date. The frame is formed of a pair of 'Ds' that incurve towards the pin bar; the pin is missing. On the upper surface the frame is bevelled round the outer edge and also internally on the loops. The frame is undecorated. Buckles of this size with double oval frames have been found in late medieval contexts (cf. Egan and Pritchard 1991, 82-83; refs. 332-333), but as the form persists a later date cannot be ruled out.
